i got this book it's very good, it receive like A+ on you tube...

I can also recommend it.

I agree. This book is excellent. The reason is the answer could be tactical or positional so you are not just in the "tactics problem" mode. I have not finished the book but I highly recommend it. No hints, more like real life chess.

Dang! I've been looking at too many chess sets lately. As soon as I clicked on the picture of that book I thought "Capablanca set from House of Staunton".
